President Roosevelt will see Alfred Picard if he must, and will have lunch with him if Acting Secretary of State Adee deems Picard “civilized or even partly civilized,” but would prefer to meet in Washington after the 24th of September. Roosevelt is curious about Adee’s prediction concerning Russia’s meaning about neutrality in China.
